aommaster Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Recently, i think, scientists were able to make the first compound that had a noble gas in. Xenon tetrafluoride. Well, what is its formula? Is it ionically or covalently bonded?
YT2095 Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 it`s not recent and yes indeed the one that breaks the rule the compounds of Xenon that I know off (there maybe more) are: XeF2 XeF4 XeF6 and XeO3
fafalone Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Theres also XeO4 .. There are several other noble gas compunds: KrF2, H4XeO6 (xenic acid), XeOF4, XePtF6 (which was the first noble gas compound isolated, in 1962 by Neil Bartlett), and even more exotic is CUOAr4, in which 4 argon atoms are bonded to the uranium atom in CUO. Some other compounds are HXeCCH, HKrCN, HKrCCH, and HArF but these are only stable below 40K.
